Do we have any parents/schools/businesses or other organisations that might be able to donate laptops and/or tablets? They would need to still be in a useable condition and have reasonable battery life. Some of the care homes that we support would love to join our monthly

🤩 We are delighted to announce we will be opening a much-needed specialist care service on the edge of Beccles, in Suffolk! Broads View, close to Beccles Quay, will provide the best possible environment and person-centred support for up to six people with a learning disability and associated conditions. Following successful registration by the CQC, we will shortly be welcoming our first resident. Chris May, Managing Director Specialist Services, said: “We know there is a huge need for this type of high quality service that provides a supportive environment for individuals to thrive, learn and achieve their goals.”

… to share with older people living in care homes. We know how much residents enjoy receiving information about what children are doing in schools ❤️ If your school/nursery/college/uni/alternative provision would like to get involved, please contact kate@friendindeed.org.uk ❤️

Children visiting older people in care homes that support those living with dementia is beyond special ❤️

@Ghosthill2023 Thank you as always for your dedication to intergenerational practice 😊👏🏻

School Council enjoyed a wonderful visit to Two Acres Care Home as part of our intergenerational work with @FriendInDeed_ We teach the children about Community Awareness as part of our Character Ed curriculum. Try Hard, Be Brave, Be You

Junk modelling is a fabulous activity for all ages and it provokes brilliant conversations around the world that we live in now, compared to 80+ years ago, when our older friends in care homes were children. #intergenerational

We always love increasing our knowledge …

This is why we need to make sure our older friends in sheltered housing and care homes are still really involved in community events. We would miss special moments and stories like this… #intergenerational #kindness #charity #norwich #norfolk
